Bonnet Issues

[Aronie]

Hi

I may be being silly here but I cannot open my bonnet. I pull the lever in the passenger foot well then lift the bonnet a little and pull on the lever. Tried it plenty of times but still cant lift bonnet?

Does anyone have any ideas?

Is there any alternative way to open the bonnet?

Thanks

have you tried pushing down on the bonnet whilst some one pulls the lever?

Will give it a try Darren cheers mate. You out in car this weekend?

Bonnet starting to wind me up now, tried for a hour last night and 2 hours this morning..

It seems strange tho as the pull lever still has tension and pings back ?

The catch isn't releasing. get a friend to gently lift/wiggle the bonnet up while you pull the lever all the way. Don't push on it or else you will end up denting it!

Out of curiosity, has the recall been done buddy?

My bonnet is getting tricky to open, how would i find out if the recall has been carried out on mine?

Phone Renault, they 'should' have it on their database

 

[robgooch]

Just any dealer? Or is there a national telephone number?

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Any dealer mate, they share the database all over the UK IIRC

Lovely job thanks for that, I supply I Renault dealer so I will give him a call Monday morning.
